On April 16th, my littlest guy turned FOUR years old! FOUR...How is that even possible?!?!?

Four years ago, the Lord blessed me
beyond measure when He gave me this precious boy! Since then, this
little guy has stolen my heart AND managed to wrap me around his little
finger (twice)! He is a true momma's boy and gives the BEST
snuggles EVER. I know the Lord has BIG plans for my sweet Hudson and I can't
wait to watch those plans unfold!

We enjoyed such a fun day celebrating our little Hud Hud on his birthday!

It was beautiful outside, so the entire morning was spent at the park with some of our sweet friends!

We enjoyed a yummy picnic and some great playground time!

When Shane got home from work that evening, we had a special dinner together.
Lasagna, salad and garlic bread was what was requested by the birthday boy!

We washed it all down with homemade vanilla cupcakes, smothered in Nutella icing (YUMM-O)!!

After dinner, a special birthday surprise was waiting for the new four year old on the front porch!

Yeah...he was just a little excited about his neon green, lighting-FAST, race car bike!

Happy Birthday Hud!

I hope you had a great day, because we sure had FUN celebrating YOU!!!

Last Sunday afternoon, Sophie and I had tickets to go watch the musical Pinkalicious! And if you know anything about my Sophie girl, you know that she is a HUGE fan of the entire Pinkalicious book series!!

She was so excited to see the play and couldn't wait for the show to begin! I was a little excited too! Somehow we scored front row seats which was such a sweet blessing! The musical was AMAZING and we had the best time together!

On our way home, we made a quick stop at (where else) but Pinkberry and enjoyed a little treat together!

What a fun way to spend the day with my very own PINK wearin', cupcake eatin', heart meltin' little girl!

We certainly have enjoyed a wonderful year of "firsts" with our precious baby girl...

and in just a few short months she'll be celebrating her THIRD birthday with US!

Oh, what a special day THAT will be!

We enjoyed a wonderful Easter this year.

After a beautiful worship service at church, we headed over to my mom's house for a delicious Easter dinner.

The kids were so excited to play with their sweet cousins,

and enjoyed yet another egg hunt in my parents front yard!!

And as we enjoyed our day celebrating our RISEN Lord, an old hymn my grandpa used to sing to me played over and over and over again in my head...

I serve a risen Savior,
He's in the world today;
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say;
I see His hand of mercy,
I hear His voice of cheer,
And just the time I need Him
He's always near.
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives
today!
He walks with me and He talks with me
Along life's narrow way.
He lives, He live, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives:
He lives within my heart.

Just a little bit about us...

"Hi there! Welcome to our little blog. We're thrilled you're here!
Shane and I have been married for thirteen years and together we have been blessed with three spunky boys and two precious little girls. Our sweet girls were both brought into our family through the beautiful gift of adoption. We are so thankful to the Lord for the many blessings He has bestowed upon our family--most importantly for the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Our deepest desire is to live a life worthy of the cross and bring honor to the Lord in all we do.
